jeongguk won't stop flunking his driving test, and taehyung finds out why
or
jeongguk just wants to be with taehyung 24/7
---
jeongguk's grip on the steering wheel tightened as he stared intensely at the nearly empty road ahead.
"okay jeongguk. this is the part where you always fall short. the independent driving section. however, today, we will ace it," namjoon, his examiner/friend said, throwing him a glare at the last part, seeing as this is his 4th time saying it this month alone.
"don't worry, hyung. i'll definitely pass it this time."
"not the first time i've heard that."
jeongguk could practically hear the eye roll in his voice.
"well, no time to waste. let's geddit," jeongguk said as he shifted gear from P to D. namjoon just sighed and started the navigating device.
"hyung!"
taehyung looked up from his novel to see a very delighted jeongguk, followed by a very bored-looking namjoon.
"you failed again, didn't you?"
"yep!" jeongguk nodded fervently as he sat next to taehyung while namjoon sat across from them. taehyung just sat there gaping at jeongguk's reply.
"why does it seem to me like you wanted to fail?"
"haha. what do you mean, tae? that's absurd," jeongguk said as he took a gulp of taehyung's (not so) hot chocolate.
"you look way too happy for someone who had just failed a simple driving test. not once, not twice, not thrice but 5 times in a row! it's like you're on a streak!"
"what? streak? what?? who said i look happy?"
"you were nodding like a happy puppy not even a minute ago."
jeongguk tried to fight the blush that threatened to creep onto his face at the thought of his best friend calling him a puppy. puppies are cute. is he implying that-
"what were you expecting? 'OMG TAE I FAILED AGAIN TT WHAT AM I GONNA DO IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD THIS IS IT I'M GONNA DIE A SINGLE PRINGLE!!!!'"
"i can help you with that," taehyung winked. there was no fighting the blush this time. jeongguk just resulted to smacking taehyung on his shoulder to hide the fact that he was flustered. which backfired, obviously. if anything, it just made it more obvious. taehyung just chuckled and cooed at jeongguk's reaction.
"SHUT YOUR TRAP I'M NOT DONE! IT WAS ALL NAMJOON'S FAULT! THERE WAS A FUCKING BEE IN THE CAR AND NAMJOON KEPT TRYING TO SMACK IT OUT OF THE WINDOW THEN I GOT DISTRACTED AND i kinda... smashed the car into a lamp post?"
"hey! it's not completely my fault! I TOLD YOU NOT TO LET GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL YOU UNEDUCATED OSTRICH!"
"WHAT?! ARE YOU OKAY?!!" taehyung instantly turned to face jeongguk to inspect his body to ensure that he was unscathed.
"wow. namjoon is fine by the way, thanks for asking," namjoon scoffed in the background.
"that's great, hyung," taehyung said, not bothered to even spare namjoon a look. "gguk, are you feeling any pain? anywhere at all?" taehyung asked, his eyes scanning jeongguk's face frantically for any signs of pain or discomfort.
"ahh... actually, there is."
"WHAT WHERE?????"
"my cold, dark heart."
